Soapbox: 

Propagaion coupled with an awful
cold made this a tough weekend. 
Almost quit several times. Low band
noise from storms made the first night
tough on the low bands.  Of course,
the inconvenience pales in comparison
to the destruction and loss of life
caused by the storms.  I was
constantly monitoring weather radar
for the first 15 hours looking for
T-storms springing up along the
coast.

All the activity compressed
into open bands made running tough. 
Twice I found N2IC CQing way up on 20M
& 15 M.  I joked about him joining a
MARS net!
